————-Sorry for the levity, but that's where everyone else is going with this , mainly because the original post is just a simple bait for posting stuff about faith, without any real opinion or position offered. All it is, is bait.

Faith would be the last thing I would use to fill in that blank. All the most dysfunctional, drug addicted, mentally ill, bitter, angry, resentful, apathetic and frustrated people in my family are also the ones with the most faith. That's why I don't friend them on facebook. I don't need the constant religious nonsense cluttering up my wall. If they can't solve their own problems, I don't need them lecturing me about how I have to have faith in God.

Without I AM THE 1337 MASTER everything falls apart. Things like dysfunctional families, drug addiction, mental problems, bitterness, anger, resentment, apathy, frustration, etc. are the result of a lack of I AM THE 1337 MASTER.

Seems a little broad for any one answer and presumes too much, but eh. Since we have to pick one response-?

I'll take ‘Contentment’ for 200, Alex.

(I like El Cid's answer best, frankly.)

“You tell yourself to just enjoy the process,” he added. “That whether you succeed or fail, win or lose, it will be fine. You pretend to be Zen. You adopt detachment, and ironic humor, while secretly praying for a miracle.”
